This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2023 Mazda MX5 or Miata roadster convertible.
The MX-5 is such a special convertible, not only is it an affordable option but it’s
fun to drive especially with the manual transmission. I learned to drive manual on an MX-5 so this car holds a special place in my heart. It’s an absolute joy to drive.

This Mazda has a 2L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed manual or optional 6-speed automatic transmission, 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, RWD only.

In Canada, the automatic is an option on trims one up from the base model but in the US it is only available on the top Grand Touring trim.

The MX-5 is a two-passenger sports car that has a classic and sporty exterior design. Whether you decide on the soft top or hard top, it’s one of those cars you park and look back at to admire, it has beautiful lines. It comes standard with LED headlights, LED rear combination lights, 17” wheels in Canada, 16” in the US, available 17” and you get a tire repair kit.

The interior is simplistic with a 7” touchscreen and wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It comes standard with black cloth upholstery with black stitching, available black cloth with grey stitching, black leather on the top trim and optional terracotta or white Nappa leather for $400 CAD/$300 USD. White Nappa is not available in the US.

One up from the base model adds the 12-speaker Bose sound system and heated front seats. The top trim has navigation and wireless Apple Carplay. In the US, the Club trim one up from the base model gets wireless Apple Carplay.

In Canada, the GS trim is $33,300 CAD, GS-P $37,300 CAD, GT $40,400 CAD. In the US, the Sport model is $28,050 USD, Club $31,550 USD and Grand Touring $33,050 USD.
